How does air get into clutch system?
Air is sucked into the clutch slave cylinder, thru the cup seal. I know it sounds hard to believe, but the cup’s lip faces inward only with every slave cylinder I’ve been inside. The explanation I remember was that it is most likely to occur when the clutch pedal is fully depressed, and then released quickly.
What happens if there is air in clutch?
Like brake systems clutch hydraulics don’t spontaneously or intermittently let air in. If you have air in your clutch system you’ve got problems besides bleeding the clutch. If that problem is still happening you may not be able to bleed successfully until the issue is resolved.
How can you tell if there’s air in your clutch?
If your clutch pedal feels soft or ‘spongy’ at any point as you press it to the floor, it’s a sign your clutch fluid is low. That spongy, inconsistent feeling is due to air in the clutch line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder.
How do you remove air from a clutch?
To remove the air from your clutch system you need to push or pull the air down through the fluid line to the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder. To keep things clean you should attach a tube to the nipple on the bleeder valve. If you use a clear tube it can be easy to see when all the air has exited the system.
How long does it take to bleed the clutch?
Bleeding a clutch should take less than a half of an hour. For many, it may only take one to three minutes. As you bleed your clutch, you want to leave the bleeder open while allowing gravity to bleed the slave cylinder for a few minutes.
